Liter/100 Km
Liter per 100 kilometers (L/100 km) is a measurement of fuel consumption indicating the amount of fuel (in liters) used to travel 100 kilometers.
History/Origin
The L/100 km unit became widely adopted in Europe and other regions as a standard measure of vehicle fuel efficiency, replacing older units like miles per gallon, to provide a clear and consistent metric for consumers and manufacturers.
Current Use
L/100 km is commonly used in vehicle fuel efficiency ratings, especially in European and international markets, to help consumers compare the fuel consumption of different vehicles.
Liter/meter
The liter per meter (L/m) is a unit of measurement representing the volume in liters per unit length in meters, typically used to express fuel consumption or flow rate over a distance.
History/Origin
The liter per meter has been used in engineering and fluid dynamics to quantify flow rates and fuel consumption, especially in contexts where volume per unit length is relevant. Its usage became more standardized with the adoption of the metric system in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Current Use
Today, the liter per meter is primarily used in specialized fields such as fuel consumption analysis, pipeline flow measurement, and engineering applications where volume flow per unit length is relevant, within the broader category of common converters.
